In the UK we would refer to a house that is not attached to another house as detached. Just two houses joined together are semi-detached and houses in a long row are called terraced houses (I believe they are referred to as row houses in the USA).

In general, linked detached houses are valued less than fully detached houses as they share a common wall with another property. Detached houses usually offer more privacy and space, which can increase their value compared to linked detached properties. However, market conditions and location can also impact the value of both property types.
As of recent estimates, there are approximately 28 million residential properties in the UK, with around 14 million of those being detached, semi-detached, or terraced houses. This means that houses make up a significant portion of the housing stock, while flats account for a smaller percentage. The exact numbers may vary slightly due to ongoing construction and changes in housing classifications.

Semi-detached houses offer more privacy and space than apartments or townhouses. They also tend to be more affordable than detached houses while still providing a sense of ownership and autonomy. Additionally, semi-detached houses often have their own yard or outdoor space for residents to enjoy.
